  • Announcement: Unauthorized Use of Smarter Balanced for Marketing

    07/23/2014 3:14 PM | Anonymous

    Dear K-12 Leads:
    Copies to Higher Education Leads, Executive Committee, and Executive Staff

    We have become aware that an organization called Snapwiz is marketing a formative assessment product called Edulastic that claims the following: “teachers can create standards-aligned formative assessments with interactive, free-form questions defined by Smarter Balanced and PARCC.” This product has no relationship to Smarter Balanced. Snapwiz did not seek permission to use the Smarter Balanced name. Further, Smarter Balanced does not endorse Snapwiz or its products.

    Please send this message to your districts, schools, and other concerned stakeholders so that we can minimize any confusion resulting from this marketing campaign.

  • New Online Game from MIT for High School Math and Biology - Spring 2014 Pilot

    01/21/2014 2:23 PM | Anonymous

    MIT's Education Arcade and Scheller Teacher Education Program received a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop an immersive virtual learning experience supporting high school math and biology instruction. 

    Working collaboratively with teachers, we have created The Radix Endeavor, a multi-player online game set on the Island of Ysola. 

    The game incorporates:

    A flexible web-based design – students can play anywhere, any time; in school or at home.

    Quest-based learning aligned with the current standards in
    Biology including Genetics, Ecosystems, Evolution, and Human Body Systems.

    Math including Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics & Probability.
    Teacher resources including video supports, classroom connections and student progress tracking.

    Interested teachers are also invited to attend a day-long PD session, Using Games in the Classroom, scheduled for Wednesday, February 19 on the MIT campus. To learn more about the game or participate in the large-scale pilot scheduled for the Spring of 2014, visit www.radixendeavor.org.
